Shaquille O’Neal had an incredible NBA career, in which he won four NBA championships. He was a dominating player and has often been credited with transforming the role of a center in the NBA. Despite not playing professionally for over a decade now, Shaq has a physique that arguably many would be envious of. The 50-year-old NBA legend has transformed his body a lot in the past few years. He recently shared a video of himself flexing his muscles that left NBA fans speechless.

When the Orlando Magic drafted Shaquille O’Neal in the early 90s, he looked nothing like the insane body he has now. In fact, he weighed less than 300 pounds when he was at LSU. However, after a decade, at one point, he even reached 370 pounds.
